i could write a song for this!

That's a great idea! What do you have in mind?

I also just thought how it would be great if I could do a few more and put them together as a longer piece. Considering it took me all day to make a 20 second clip, this would be quite a project.

Thanks! Your hair isn't really pink now, is it?

Bird Sounds! What process(es) did you use to make this? Unless that spoiles the magic, of course...

Oh, nothing special. It's really a matter of having the right toys.
(1) I drew the pictures by hand first. I drew different versions of the hands and birds using tracing paper.
(2) Then I scanned them and then set them up on Photoshop. Photoshop works with layers, so you can easily move bits at a time, without altering the other parts.
(3) Each frame I saved as a JPEG, and then I imported them on iMovie and sped them up. (if you don't have a Mac and iMovie, I know there's some kind of freeware available. I hope this helps!

*Oh That Is SO COOL*
And a day is pretty good average for 20 seconds, I think.
Thank you for sharing!

this is so pretty. i can't wait to see and hear the final piece!

i really like the tone of this, along with the tone of your other video. they are both kind of soft and melancholy.

I'm glad you saw that, Kjerstiye. I think I'm really drawn to that kind of feel, like the melancholy of innocence or something.

The final piece is on its way...
